Cereal grasses of the Triticeae tribe have been the major food source in temperate regions
since the dawn of agriculture. Their large genomes are characterized by a high content of …

Regulation of transcript structure generates transcript diversity and plays an important role in
human disease,,,,,–. The advent of long-read sequencing technologies offers the opportunity …

Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) are prevalent in plant genomes. The
identification of LTR-RTs is critical for achieving high-quality gene annotation. Based on the …

Ferns are the closest sister group to all seed plants, yet little is known about their genomes
other than that they are generally colossal. Here, we report on the genomes of Azolla …

The domesticated sunflower, Helianthus annuus L., is a global oil crop that has promise for
climate change adaptation, because it can maintain stable yields across a wide variety of …

In recent years,'multi-omic'sciences have affected all aspects of fundamental and applied
biological research. Yeast taxonomists, though somewhat timidly, have begun to incorporate …

Parasitic nematodes (roundworms) and platyhelminths (flatworms) cause debilitating
chronic infections of humans and animals, decimate crop production and are a major …

INTRODUCTION Access to nutrients such as nitrogen is required for plant growth. Legumes
and nine additional plant families benefit from the nitrogen-fixing root nodule (NFN) …

Peas are essential for human nutrition and played a crucial role in the discovery of
Mendelian laws of inheritance. In this study, we assembled the genome of the elite …
